first off i want to say thanks to chino for the recommendation to his boss to come to me :). car was in OK shape, swirls, water spots, yada. came out like any other of my details, flawless.

sun looks like it might be coming back out, ill have to clean it AGAIN and take more pics, but this will do for now.

better sunlight pics:

Wow, nice. That color looks great all cleaned up.

Question: I have those same splotchy, water spot looking things on my car, and they do not come off with regular washing. Will a simple claybarring do the trick?

this car was the worst ive seen with water spots, they were etched into the paint. i had to cut the paint to get them out, then repolish the whole damn thing.

usually claybar + polishing takes car of them witout a problem

we deal with this all day at the dealership i work at. bird crap is the worse because the sun bakes it right into the paint. i did a full detail on a 91 corvette last week. came fully furnished with dead mice and all.

looks good though, i wish i had more motivation after doing this all day to come home and do it. lol
